Unless you are very attached to diesel, you can get better yet mpg and lower
cost overall, by considering a Subaru H6 3.0 (minimum 16mpg while pulling
a trailer), and the engine cost/installation is less $$$ as well. The "power" for
the least powerful (2001-2004 engines) is 212HP, 210Lb/ft. I'm getting 17mpg
for all of my travels in the intermountain/Rocky Mountain region for the last
25K miles (since May 2009 conversion).
